Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    ?To assess reduced of subclinical cardiotoxicity, determined by differences in LVEF, which involves the incorporation of non-pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (Myocet®) when replacing conventional doxorubicin in the standard R-CHOP regimen (R-COMP) to treat newly diagnosed elderly patients with non-localised DLBCL/follicular lymohoma grade IIIb
    Protection of trial subjects
    Several strategies have been proposed to decrease cardiotoxicity provoked by anthracyclines in elderly populations. These include the administration of reduced doses or slow infusions of doxorubicin, use of cardioprotective agents or substitution by other antineoplastic agents or by other less cardiotoxic anthacyclines, such as mitoxantrone, epirubicin, or liposomal formulations of doxorubicin.
